If you are used to 8 lane interstate highways, sweeping high rise bridges and half mile long cruise ships - you
must take a trip on the ferry crossing Laguna Sontecomapan from La Barra to La Chorrera.
This dilapidated contraption of plastic drums, lumber
planks and stainless steel casing is the only regularly
accessible route to the southeastern part of the
Catemaco coast.
The ferry, called "panga" in Spanish, costs 200 pesos
round trip per car (2007). And a boat towed round trip
it has to be because the other side is isolated from the
rest of Catemaco.
